Mushroom Peas Pulav

Every one now is aware of the nutritional benefits of mushrooms. Growing up ina traditional south indian family, I've never tasted mushrooms. Shrooms were in my diet only after moving to the west. still i don't use it frequrntly as my husband and son don't like it.

But my little one loves mushrooms and has been in my grocery list all the time. I had this carton of nice fresh looking button mushrooms and wanted to make an one pot meal for this weekend. My husband is away and I have some left over potato for my son.
Isn't this is the perfect time to make shroom pulav?

I would like to share a tip that I learnt from one of the popular web shows about mushrooms. To prevent them from wilting during cooking, steeple them in hot water. They reatin their original shape and cook well too.

I love coconut and added some coconut milk to this pulav, but ifyou are not a fan of coconut, you don'y have to use it.
